? We currently have Halloween and fall decorations in tubs here in the living room, several Christmas trees that just arrived, and a Thanksgiving table set. And who knows, I may be adding some other Thanksgiving decor in here and there between the Christmas trees. but I wanted to share this look with you quick. I hope you enjoyed this Thanksgiving centerpiece using all of the traditional colors of fall. I always share these because they are such great quality and burn like no other taper candles that I’ve had. And then I added my absolute favorite beeswax candles. What would a centerpiece be without candles? I mixed new with old by adding some very simple and inexpensive new gold candlesticks with a few of my vintage brass ones. And then I added my gold flatware to match the gold rim on the dishes. Just an FYI, these dishes are such excellent quality. I wanted the darker colors of the pheasant tail feathers because I knew I was going to set the table with my black and white dot stoneware dishes for this Thanksgiving table setting. Theyll pop even more against the bright palette. And then I popped in some traditional burnt orange pumpkins along with a few white ones. Pair typical Thanksgiving colors like orange with white for a clean and colorful table. I thought these pheasant tail feathers gave it a completely differently look and added some darker colors which I wanted. I added a maple leaf stem to each place setting to give the dinnerware a back drop… almost using it as one would a place mat. And then I started adding other artificial leaves around the garland to add different color and interest. I set this table for four so I wound the garland around the middle so that each person had a clear spot for their dinner ware.

I used the same maple leaf garland that I used in my last centerpiece as my starting point. Thanksgiving Centerpiece using Traditional Fall Colors But I wanted to share a Thanksgiving centerpiece idea using traditional fall colors. You guys know I am a neutral person using lots of whites. Did you see the one I shared last week? It is so simple. Since Thanksgiving comes before Christmas, and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I wanted to share a another centerpiece idea with you. I have them all rounded up all up in one place so it would be easy for you to find. Maybe I am finally coming to except that I will never be a triggerfish or a macaw and must be content to be an olive flounder or a tawny owl…or maybe the next season will reveal a new set of colors which delight me and my tastes will keep changing like the seasons and the years.I have shared so many different fall looks this year. To fully embrace the traditional Thanksgiving colors, start with the entrance to your home. Chestnut browns, rusty reds, oranges, yellows, and even beiges signal to us that fall is winding down and Thanksgiving is here to wish it a fond farewell as we enter December. It is like they are not trying to sell some god-forsaken novelty or social pretense but are are simply the colors of Mother Earth herself.Īnyway, I don’t have a bigger point–although my other posts this week are related to this and come to think of it, lately my artwork has changed to reflect the somber beauty of the autumn woodlands too. Browns, reds, oranges, and yellows the staples of Thanksgiving. Throughout my life I have chafed at the earth toned hues of autumn, but suddenly they seem more beautiful than I can ever remember. It’s like a sheet set from 1975! Except now I see that within that rainbow of brown is the stubble in the autumn fields, and the feathers of buff turkeys, and the g owing leaves of the bald cypress before they fall away. However, Thanksgiving is russet, burgundy, harvest gold, and drab. Halloween is orange, black, purple and green. Summer colors are superhero colors of red, blue, white, yellow, and green. Saint Patrick’s Day is Kelly green and gold. Valentine’s day is bright red and hot pink. New Years is gold, silver, and jewel-tones. Among the holiday color palettes Thanksgiving is the odd one out. Wouldn’t life be better if it was like a tropical coral reef or a city in Tamil Nadu?Įxcept, for some reason this year the Thanksgiving color palette is calling to me with a greater allure than it has ever possessed. Devout readers know that I love colors and I sometimes rue America’s puritan distrust of brilliant scintillating colors (I was recently at an airport in Richmond and everyone there was wearing black, blue, white or oatmeal!). It is Thanksgiving week and Ferrebeekeeper has a couple of little appetizer articles planned to post here before the great feast, however, before we get to those, I would like to talk about something which I have only become truly thankful for of late in life.
